They are now capable of beating any major team in international cricket, bdnews24.com reported on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chasing 170, Bangladesh created history with a resounding nine-wicket win in the third ODI in Chittagong to clinch their first-ever series victory against South Africa.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After easily losing the first ODI by eight wickets, the home team fought back convincingly in the second and levelled the series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The win comes after they whitewashed Pakistan 3-0 and won against India 2-1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;Beating South Africa... This is a huge moment for Bangladesh cricket. Our bowlers have bowled brilliantly. Soumya&#39;s batting was extraordinary,&quot; Tamim said after the match on Wednesday, referring to Soumya Sarkar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;The team deserved a good innings from me. That&#39;s why I took time to play the right way. This Bangladesh team have the ability to beat any team in the world.&quot;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tamim strung together a record 154-run partnership with his junior opening partner and Man-of-the-Match Soumya Sarkar (90 off 75 balls).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His 61-run knock off 77 balls was crucial in securing the perfect finish in the rain-scarred match reduced to 40 overs a side at Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Their third overall century partnership cemented the easy win with 13.5 overs to go.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The left-handed batsman now plans to carry the confidence from the ODIs over to the Test series scheduled to begin on July 21 at the same venue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;Now, we are very confident. I hope we&#39;ll be able to continue this trend in the Tests too. There are lots of areas we need to work on in this format,&quot; Tamim added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">(IANS)<\/p>\r\n",
